The AudioQuest Sydney 3.5mm to RCA cable offers exceptional performance and versatility for connecting a wide range of audio equipment. Engineered for superior clarity and dynamic sound, this cable features Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors, Polyethylene Air-Tube insulation, and a Carbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation System, ensuring a clean, distortion-free signal for a rich and immersive audio experience.

Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors

The AudioQuest Sydney 3.5mm to RCA cable uses Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors to deliver exceptional signal purity. By eliminating strand-interaction, solid conductors reduce distortion, ensuring a more accurate and transparent audio signal. The PSC+ copper minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries, resulting in clearer, more precise sound reproduction, while also enhancing linear RF noise dissipation to reduce high-frequency interference.

Carbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation System

Featuring a Carbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS), the AudioQuest Sydney 3.5mm to RCA cable effectively blocks interference from radio frequency (RFI) that could distort the audio signal. Traditional shields may absorb and drain noise to ground, affecting the system’s reference ground and causing distortion. The NDS system utilizes alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics to shield the shield, preventing noise from reaching the ground and ensuring a cleaner, more focused signal.

Polyethylene Air-Tube Insulation

The AudioQuest Sydney 3.5mm to RCA cable incorporates Polyethylene Air-Tube insulation, which improves signal clarity by stabilizing cable geometry and reducing distortion. Traditional insulation materials absorb energy, which is then released as distortion. By using air as part of the insulation, Polyethylene Air-Tube minimizes this energy absorption, resulting in sharper, more focused sound reproduction with minimal loss or distortion.

Asymmetrical Double-Balanced Geometry

Engineered specifically for single-ended applications, the Asymmetrical Double-Balanced Geometry in the AudioQuest Sydney 3.5mm to RCA cable reduces impedance on the ground, resulting in a richer, more dynamic audio experience. Unlike traditional single-ended cables that share a ground and shield path, this design separates the two, allowing for cleaner, quieter signal transmission, which enhances overall sound performance.

Cold-Welded, Direct-Silver Plated Pure Purple Copper Terminations

The AudioQuest Sydney 3.5mm to RCA cable features Cold-Welded, Direct-Silver Plated Pure Purple Copper terminations for optimal signal transfer. The direct-silver plating enhances conductivity without the distortion caused by a nickel underlayer, ensuring a pure and accurate sound. The cold-weld process creates secure connections without solder, preventing signal degradation and ensuring long-lasting performance.

Features
  • Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors: Solid conductors prevent electrical and magnetic strand-interaction. Solid PSC+ Copper minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries and maximizes linear RF Noise-Dissipation. The result is clearer, cleaner, more naturally beautiful sound.
  • Asymmetrical Double-Balanced Geometry: While many single-ended cable designs use a single path for both the ground and the shield, Double-Balanced designs separate the two, providing a relatively lower impedance on the ground for cleaner, quieter performance.
  • Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation: AudioQuest’s Noise-Dissipation technology significantly reduces the RF Noise that reaches active circuits and causes masking effects.
  • Polyethylene Air-Tube Insulation: Because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene has a benign distortion profile, Polyethylene Air-Tube Insulation, with its high air content, causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials. The result is clearer, more coherent sound.
  • Cold-Welded, Direct-Silver Plated Pure Purple Copper Terminations: Direct-Silver Plating is optimized for sound, using no underlying layer of distortion-causing nickel, while the highly effective cold-weld process avoids sound-degrading solder.
